Filtration of airborne eDNA outperforms leaf swabs for terrestrial vertebrate detection in a temperate mixed forest with longer filtration times performing the best

Methods in Ecology and Evolution, EarlyView.
Abstract Advances in collection of environmental DNA (eDNA) through active air filtration and sampling from vegetation (leaf swabs) have demonstrated the promise of using airborne eDNA for terrestrial vertebrate surveys. However, methods are at an early stage, and we lack insights into the effect of air filtration time and the complementarity between ...

A national assessment of waterbird hunting in coastal wetlands of Suriname, South America

Conservation Science and Practice, Volume 8, Issue 5, May 2026.
We examined waterbird harvest levels in Suriname using hunter survey data from 2006 and 2016. The analysis showed a significant decline in the average harvest per hunter over the decade, except for blue‐winged teal and migratory shorebirds. However, the sustainability of current harvest levels remains uncertain, underscoring the need for a national ...

The caliph and the falcons: a ninth‐century history from Iceland to Iraq

Early Medieval Europe, Volume 34, Issue 2, Page 299-322, May 2026.
In the late ninth and early tenth centuries, an extraordinary number of falcons were given to the ʿAbbāsid caliphs in Baghdad, many of which were white. Gifts from competing dynasties in the northern provinces of the Caliphate, at least some of these birds were almost certainly gyrfalcons from near the Arctic Circle.

Nutritional Intervention With Perennial Ryegrass Modulates UA Metabolism in Goslings via Gut Microbiota–Antioxidant Pathway Modulation

Food Science &Nutrition, Volume 14, Issue 4, April 2026.
Perennial ryegrass supplementation modulates UA‐metabolism in goslings by reducing serum uric acid and creatinine through inhibition of hepatic xanthine oxidase and upregulation of urate transporters (ABCG2, OAT1, OAT3). It enhances antioxidant capacity via Nrf2 activation, improves intestinal barrier integrity, and enriches beneficial gut microbiota ...

Nutrigenomic Potentials of Phytobiotics Against Heat Stress and Allied Afflictions in Livestock Species–An In Silico Supported Review

Food Science &Nutrition, Volume 14, Issue 4, April 2026.
Heat stress impairs livestock performance through oxidative stress, immune dysregulation, and reduced productivity. Phytobiotics act as natural mitigators with antioxidant, anti‐inflammatory, antimicrobial, and gut‐modulatory effects. Mechanistically, they regulate HSPs, Nrf2, NF‐κB, and MAPK pathways.
